Coercivity – the amount of resistance in a ferromagnetic medium to having its magnetic direction (north or south pole) lost by exposure to an input magnetic field. A disk or tape recording medium with high coercivity will retain its magnetic direction for longer than a low coercivity medium and require more energy in an input magnetic field to become demagnetized.
